DETROIT – The global semiconductor survey and the February fever test will be combined to oblige Ford to build its F-150 pickups without any of its computers.
The vans are located in the factories during “some weeks”, and are sent to the dealers a time that the computers are available and the quality revisions are carried out, informs the company the jueves.
Global semiconductor testing also obliges this week Honda and Toyota to announce production records and some of their plants in North America. Similarly, General Motors has been forced to manufacture pickups that do not carry any of their computers and installers.
It is possible that the midway through Ford reduced the inventory of F-Series vans, the mayor’s vehicle for sale in the United States. The existences are very high demand and the production losses related to the fabric of the year passed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Ford has also announced that it will build the Edge van without its computers and will send it posteriorly, in addition to canceling all the turns of fours and fours in a Louisville, Kentucky car, making the Ford Escape van.
The automakers said they did not prevent the chips from being cut earlier than the third quarter of this year. Ford has said it will reduce its pre-emptive tax dollars by $ 1,000 million to include 2,500 million, to compensate for lost production in the second semester.
Volkswagen, Fiat Chrysler (now Stellantis) and Nissan have also stated that they have been affected by the crash and that they have been forced to restrain the production of some models in order to complete operations in other factories.
Industry firefighters claim that semiconductor companies are slowing down the production of consumer electronics during the most expensive car pandemic sale, the first pass. All automobiles around the world are required to close factories to prevent the spread of the virus. Once recovered, no chips with enough debit will be issued at the high demand of personal electronics.
